Macintosh and Linux users, we are aware of a crash bug in multiplayer. Both OSX and Linux may crash as a client when the host disconnects from a multiplayer game. OSX may crash when attempting to connect to a nonexistant host. We are working on this issue. Our apologies for the inconvenience.

Changes in 1.1.5:

General Updates

Added a tutorial for Booster and Logic. Step by step tips will guide you from basic through advanced gameplay.

Added gamepad support. Now you can play Booster Logic with a gamepad, without resorting to external software.

Added a new pack for both Booster and Logic, SB_Bonus3. This pack's difficulty falls around the middle levels of the Standard packs.

Added more general controls to key bindings.

Updated art, including floor and wall tiles, across both games.

Tweaked various older Booster and Logic levels.

Added a confirmation menu on game exit.

Integrated with the SDL and SDL_net libraries for networking and joystick support.

Booster Updates

Booster now has save points! Activate a save, and when you die you will be able to resume from that location. Only one save can be active on a single level at a time.

Saves in multiplayer function as respawn points. Activate one, and if you die you will be able to come back from that location, without resetting the level.

Improved Multiplayer support and added many server configuration options. Create your own modes, from speed Booster to forced 100% collection!

Added player colors to Multiplayer.

Logic Updates

Added Hard mode to SB_Insane and SB_Bonus2.

Added an automatic save when the Console is activated.

Changes in 1.1.4:

Booster Updates

Updated map324 to make it work with a Launch Pad change.

Logic Updates

Added "normal" difficulty and bumped the current maps up to "hard" difficulty. The normal maps are more straightforward and may give hints on how to complete their hard counterparts.

Slightly tweaked most maps to adjust them to normal or hard, and further modified each map for the alternate difficulty.

Shuffled the order of a few of the maps to account for the new difficulty setting.

Updated the Hunter AI. They shouldn't be quite so easy to confuse now.

Clicking on an item will now use it, as an alternative to the "use item" key.

Editor Updates

Added a "Bundler" tab to the editor. The Bundler is used to create Level Packs, and gives more information than what we had before.

Added a "Resize" editing tool. It's a visual representation of the map size. It shows exactly where the extra tiles will be added, and what parts of the map will be cropped off.

General Updates

Booster Logic now supports profiles. Go to Options->Profiles to create a new profile. You can then select your profile from any map selection screen. Profiles store separate scores and level unlock data, along with configuration options.

The menus have a new look.

In-game buttons are now all a standard size.

Changes in 1.1.3:

Generic Updates

Macintosh OSX and Linux versions are now released!

Fixed a bug with view scrolling. It should be smoother now.

Booster Updates

Added chat to Booster multiplayer. Access it with Enter or F4.

Added a graphical effect when the player has collected all pellets on a map.

Added medals which display at the end of levels when you've set a new record. Medals are for high score, low score, speed, and perfect runs.

Updated some collision boxes. Among other things, the tips of Flamethrower flames are now less deadly.

Updated the positioning of Booster's animations to be more accurate with his hitbox.

Improved pellet locations in many Booster maps.

Slightly tweaked the Booster robot appearances.

Added some more score tracking information to Booster.

Super jumping, a technique required by some of the SB_Insane Booster maps, is now much easier. A description of how to super jump is now in the Booster manual under the 'Tips and Tricks' section.

Logic Updates

Significantly increased the difficulty of nearly all Logic maps.

Added quicksaving and quickloading to Logic. F5 saves, F8 loads, and the keyboard numbers select a slot. The saves are persistent across restarts.

Added two new robots to Logic. The Ancient Hunter is a slow moving, always active Hunter. The Hunter Cleaner functions as a Cleaner until the Console is activated, then it switches to a Hunter.

Revamped the Logic Hunter pathing code.

Changed the Logic Cleaner AI. The Cleaners will now follow walls to the left.

Changed the Logic Gravity Well and Conveyor code to make movement to and from the objects more responsive.

Upgraded the Booster Map Editor to allow Lasers to be placed on Jump Pads.

Changes in 1.1.2:

Added a loading screen. No more blank white window when the game starts!

The loading screen now displays the load progress.

Made some improvements to sound playback.

Changed sound effects to wav for better playback.

Multiscreen levels now support directional sound.

Pausing a replay before movement starts will no longer start the replay, but pause it along with the remaining delay time.

The Map Editor play will now wipe your score after you complete the level.

Fixed a crash bug upon exiting the options menu when the Sounds directory doesn't exist.

The game will no longer track player movement after they have died or completed the level.

Made a slight update to the behavior of Gravity Lifts in Booster.

Fixed display issue: Projectors no longer appear to fade before the beginning of a level if Booster's start is placed on them.

Fixed display issue: Booster will now always appear to be standing (or crouching if his head is blocked) at the beginning of a level.

In Multiplayer and Replay viewing, the player you have selected will now be fully opaque.

Shifted the view of Booster single screen levels up a tiny bit to give a better view of Electricity at the top of the map.

Changes in 1.1:

The editor is now implemented! Make levels and enjoy. Demo users can save maps made in the editor, but cannot open or play the maps.

Item usage controls have been updated. Selection can now be cancelled by pressing the reset key. This may break some Logic replays.

Active Carts can now travel over deactivated Carts.

Updated Booster Launch Pads. They will now behave better when launching stacks of Mainframes and Carts. This may break some Booster replays.

A block will no longer make an impact sound when it destroys a laser emitter.

Fixed an obscure crash bug relating to gravity lifts.

Fixed a bug where completing all the levels and then registering would not properly record future level completion.

Made names of other players displayed by F2 ghostly.

Added a save replay button to the menu system. Now you can save the last replay even if you exit.

Added a sound for the player death.

Added a energy core to Logic level 030. The push block in the upper left corner is no longer unnecessary.

Moved two energy cores to the top in Booster level 009. Now the people who wait at the bottom won't get as many points as the person they send up to do all the work.
